Serum levels of advanced glycation end products are associated with left ventricular diastolic function in patients with type 1 diabetes
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Impairment of left ventricular diastolic function, possibly caused by increased collagen cross-linking of the cardiac muscle, is common in patients with type 1 diabetes even without coronary artery disease. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) cross-link tissue collagen and are found within myocardial fibers. The aim of this study was to examine for a possible association between circulating AGEs and left ventricular cardiac function.
